Lloyd's LiveCode Blog Is No Longer MIA

Yes, it may have appeared that I've been "missing in action" when it comes to me writing about learning LiveCode. But, I want to assure all my readers - both of them - that my Learning LiveCode blog is alive and well. I haven't posted much lately mainly because I've been involved in deep dives of two very different LiveCode projects.

The first is a project that has some modest funding support in the area of agricultural education. For reasons mainly of confidentiality I've not written anything about that project despite spending an enormous amount of time on it over the past year or so. But, I think I'll be able to start writing about it soon. It's actually a very cool project and I've come up with an interesting prototype that the team likes and appears to be getting good reviews during the first field trials.

The second project has simply been doing some heavy duty tweaking of my Q sort tool. The tool itself remains fundamentally the same as when I wrote about it back in August. However, some of these tweaks have been fairly significant, such as switching to LiveCode's data grid object, also known as a table field. My next post will be about learning how to use a data grid. And, some new options are planned that I look forward to sharing here.

So, thanks for being patient and thanks for all those cards and letters asking where I've been. (Sorry, that last bit was a lie, but it felt good writing it.)
